How to automatically trust people you email in Outlook?

Author Amanda Li Last modified

The built-in Junk E-mail Filter in Outlook moves suspected spam to the Junk folder. However, sometimes the filter treats some good messages, or even the messages sent from the one you always emailed as spam. In this article, we will talk about how to never block people you email and automatically add them to the Safe Senders list, and the way to whitelist multiple senders who emailed you in Outlook at once.


Automatically whitelist people you email in Outlook

Outlook enables you easily add recipients of your email messages to the Safe Senders list by configuring the Junk Email Options as follows:

1. In Mail view, on Home tab, in Delete group, click Junk > Junk E-mail Options.

2. On Safe Senders tab, tick the box next to Automatically add people I email to the Safe Senders List.

3. Click OK.


Batch whitelist people who emailed you in Outlook

The method above helps you automatically whitelist people you email. However, there is no way to automatically whitelist people who emailed you. If so, the junk filter will be pointless since it never needs to work again. In this section, we will talk about a rather quicker way to batch add people who you trust and sent messages to you to the whitelist in Outlook with Kutools for Outlook. Please follow the instructions after you installed the add-in:

1. Select the messages that were sent by the addresses you never want to block.

2. Right click on any of the selected messages to open a drop-down menu, then click Junk (Kutools) > Never Block Senders.
